Fearless Letter
Chapter ten
"Thank you." I grab the piece of chicken that Angelo passes me. The three of us sit at the table, eating chicken legs and Cesar salad.
"Your welcome." he smiles, putting a crouton into his mouth.
"So Anne-" the door opens and Adele comes in, sitting beside me.
"Dominic is asking for you." she breaks a piece of fresh bread and pops it into her small mouth.
"Ok." I get up and dust the crumbs of off my white dress. I quickly walk up the stairs to Dom's room. "Hello?" I knock on the door three times.
"Come in, Valerie." he answers. I open the door and go into his room. The bed is black and looks like it has never been touched, the walls are a dull red and he's sitting at a black desk, sketching something in his book. My heart flutters at the thought that it's probably me, or Vana. "Here, send this right away."
He hands me a small letter, the word Vana printed neatly on it. "Um, Yes sir." I mumble and head to the door.
"Valerie." He puts a hand on my shoulder. My heart stops and my brain shuts down. He gently turns me to him, "Please, don't call me that."
Anger floods my body, "You told me a servant should call there employer sir or lady, I called you sir. What's the matter with that... Sir?" I snap.
"Just, I thought we had a good enough relationship that you could call me Dom... you are the only one who can call me that." he playfully hits my shoulder. We have a relationship! I do a mental happy dance.
"Sure, I'll send this right away, Dom." I smile and head out the door.
He snickers as I skip down the hall. Wait, why am I going to mail it if it's for me? I make a B line for Sofia's room. She's not there so I sit on the window seat and pry open the letter.
'Dear my dearest Vana,
I was hoping you and I could get together this night, go for a walk. I would like to know more about you, and I have an important matter to discuss with you.
From,
Prince Dominic'
I frown and lay down.
Maybe tonight I should tell him about me. But what if he hurts me or worse, fires me!
Well, prince Dom, if you don't take me for who I am, I ain't taking you at all!

I paced infront of the castle, looking every five minutes at the clock. Eight distinct rings echoed through the town as it struck eight. Where was he?
I fiddled with the hem of my dress, anxiouse.
"Vana!" I turned around and saw him running to me. He stopped right infront of me and pulled me in for a tight hug. "I thought you wouldn't come." me mutter into my hair.
I shivered and pulled back, "Only because I have to tell you something."
The darkness made it hard for me to see his perfect face, but I was glad, that meant he couldn't see mine. "What is it?" he frowns and takes my hand.
"Well," I gulp, "I'm not really who you think... I am."
He smiles and pulls me in for another hug, "I know, Vana, I know. I sent a letter to the king in Swedan."
My heart picks up and my palms get sweaty. "But it doesn't mean I don't have feelings for you!"
"Okay, when I sent sent the letter he said he didn't have a daughter. So I know." he takes a piece of my hair in his pale fingers. "But I don't care."
My bottom lip quivers, "You don't care." he doesn't care I'm human, he doesn't care I'm a servant, he doesn't care that I'm not a princess!
"No, I don't care, I lo-" he swallows, "Really like you."
"I like you, too. A lot!" I let a small giggled escaped my lips as I rest my head on his chest.
"And you could've just told me your not a princess, just a regular vampire. I don't mind." he twirls my hair in his finger, "I only care about you."
"Vampire." I whisper to myself. That's all he changed. "Great."
"What is it?" he cups my chin and tilts my head up, "What's wrong?"
I shake my head and push off his chest, "Nothing, Dominic."
He frowns, "Vana? Why are you so... different. From other vampires I mean. Your skin is always warm, I've never seen your eyes and.. well, you just don't seem like one of us."
I scowl, trying to look mad, "That's insulting!" I hiss and storm back into the castle.
"Well, I was just wondering!" he catches my arm. Ignoring the comfort it brings me, I shrug him off and storm down the halls. When I think I've lost him, I make a sprint to Sofia's room. She's lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
"Are you dating my brother?" I laugh at the question, so simple and innocent.
When I've locked the door I sit beside her, "No. I'm not but he really likes," I point to my dress, "Vana."
She shrugs, her eyes closed, "Your the same person."
I sigh and lie down, "But he doesn't like the real me, Sofia. I don't get it!"
She doesn't respond, and if she were a human, I would think she's sleeping.
I go to the closet and put the white dress on and put my hair in a bun. Valerei style. "I'm going for a walk." I mutter.
She nods as I leave the room.
Once I leave the building, I feel free, I could leave right now. Steel a wagon and drive to another town, leave this behind. Leave vampires and balls and heartbreak and even Dom behind! But I would never leave him, I couldn't.
Working my way past thick maple and pine trees, I reach a clearing. The ground is dark green grass and wood chip paths weave this way and that. I follow the path and reach a granite stone. It's about Two feet high and a foot in width. I keep walking through the maze and every five feet, is another rock. Then I read the writing on one.
